Download haunting adeline vk8/24/2023 Even fantasy authors do research so they know how long it takes to die out from blood loss but you aren't even aware that CHUNKS OF CONCRETE can't fly into your eyes without you becoming immobilized from pain? Have you never had anything get stuck in your eye? Jesus. These details are not only inaccurate but also beyond unnecessary. Other than the fact that this whole sentence was unnecessary, if concrete flew into your eyes, you know damn well you'd fall to the ground like a bug. I grunt, rubbing at my lids to clear my vision Omg, she's not like other girls!!! And to think that I thought I couldn't possibly hate this fmc more and she pulls the 'i'm not like other girls' line.Ĭhunks of concrete fly into my eyes as more bullets ping around me. Where she holds herself with regality and grace, I have a terrible habit of slumping and sitting with my legs open. She's so prim and proper, and I'm so.not. No one wants to read about Cheerios when they're reading a dark smutty romance. I don't like when authors insert modern world references into their writing. To top it off we get modern references too. They say those are good for the heart right? Have we not evolved past this type of colloquial writing? It's just awful and genuinely takes away from the atmosphere the author should be trying to create in these types of books. Why is it necessary to have a clueless, idiot as the fmc, eugh. Her self-awareness doesn't make me like her more. Not everyone is cut out to be a writer - but especially not an author who writes like this. I'm sick, sick of these shitty metaphors. I stare at the flower like it's a live tarantula, staring straight back at me and daring me to come closer. It ruins the atmosphere and necessary formality that is vital to the reader taking this book seriously. Really? A wizard of oz reference? What even is this, it doesn't take a genius to understand that writing like this is not adequate for a book that is meant to have a dark tone to it. I need the Tin Man to oil the hinges on my door just as much as I need the Lion's bravery. But I've probably never read a book with worse writing than this. I've always defended writing in the contemporary romance genre because it doesn't need to be flowery and classy, in fact, it's annoying when it is. I don't careee if it's just a joke or whatever, pick something else to joke about or find another way to show your appreciation for your friend, but stop treating sapphic relationships like jokes. Um, can we not? □ It's so easy to just not write shit like this, invalidating sapphic relationships. This is the fmc talking about her relationship with her best friend. I’m going to have to propose to her soon or something." She gave me a sense of safety I didn’t realize I was missing. "It seems every day, my appreciation for Daya grows. I'm going to start out with this because I feel like otherwise it'll get lost in the end of my review and no one will care but can we please stop making sapphic relationships a joke? Nothing that came out of his mouth was swoony, hot or sexy to me. As shown by the featured quote above, this is what we are dealing with. Even if we put that aside, and just focus on shit like his dirty talk or dick skills (he has none), he's gross and incompetent. He goes on and on about how those men should burn in hell for what they've done yet here he is casually and remorselessly stalking and raping a girl in his free time. This fucker thinks he's so tough (he literally like.says self-affirmations about himself in his inner monologue), he strokes his ego by killing sex traffickers and makes that his hobby, his little quirk. I feel like I'm missing out on some big prank, people like this guy? He's so pathetic, god. I have a similar opinion about Rae, the fmc in Her Soul to Take, but imo, Adeline was even worse. This girl was clueless, pathetic and honestly, just overall shallow. It's insulting and we need to start writing female main characters with some respect. And by that I mean, these women that act like children, that don't have a single logical, mature cell in their body. Like I'm genuinely personally offended that I have to associate with her because never do I meet women who are like this in real life. She's so fucking dumb, I'm so tired of women being written like this. They were both dark stalker(ish) romances with kinky smut. Well, that was absolutely terrible :) This book was on my radar because many of my goodreads friends (<33) who had read Her Soul to Take and Her Soul for Revenge seemed to love this one too.
